Why did the allies fall out?
• America had a fear that communism would spread.
• Russia felt that they needed a buffer zone in eastern Europe
to protect them from another German attack.
• This only made the Americans more suspicious of Russia. They
believed that Russia wanted to STAY in Eastern Europe and set
up their own communist governments, run by them.

Review/Evaluate
• Russia and America had different ideological differences.
America believed in capitalism. They feared that the spread of
communism would remove their markets across the world,
and possibly spread to their shores. They called this the
“domino theory”.
• However, the meeting at Yalta went well. If Russia kept theor
promise of free elections, and left Eastern Europe, American
suspicions would go away. At this point in February 1945,
there was a feeling that maybe America and Russia could work
together. Churchill however, remained susipcious of Stalin and
feared he wanted to spread communism across Europe.
